House Stuff
Front view from house
We had an issue with silt in the yard from a clogged strom drain. We had a lanscaper come out and level the area and put down sod. This is the view of the area from the house down the driveway.

And here's a view of the corrected area from the front corner of the property.

Living room - View from front door
We also have replaced a bunch of carpet. This is our new arrangement in the livingroom to make it feel more open. Since taking this photo, we've moved the coffe table over against the wall by the TV to make the space more open. Plus, Bobby was climbing up on the couch to look at the window and it made me nervous that he'd fall backward and crack his head... Carpet is so nice and springy that I think he'd be just fine hitting the floor.
Stairs
We also did the stairs and the landing at the top. Previously, the carpet in the living room and stairs was a well-worn and loose blue color. The landing at the top of the stairs was peel and stick tile that was coming up in spots.
Helpful hint: removing peel and stick tile (even when it's already coming up in places) is a painful, time consuming, horrid job. Just put the carpet over the top...
Jesse's Room
Jesse's room had what must have been the original nasty matted green carpet that had gotten dark around the edges. Now it looks so much better!!!
What you see below the window (which was replaced a could of years ago with a wonderful argon filled one) are the closet doors which I put up after the installers were gone. Still not up is the door for the room itself which needs to be cut down at the bottom at least a quarter inch. The door opens out and was over the tile before. Now it doesn't fit.
